Course Description

This course introduces the means of oral communication (sound, images and facial geometry and the vocal tract, aerodynamic parameters, gestures) which can be collected. The technologies used to this end are also introduced (microphone, IRM, ultrasound, electromagnetic articulography) as well as the technical or ethical constraints that these methods of collection present. The second part of the class develops conceptualisation of annotated corpora. For example, we develop notions of automatic tools used for annotation. The last part of the course is consecrated to annotation software and the management of corpora, which are vital for the proper exploitation after the annotation process.
